Huang Mingming, chairperson of Kanbox Information Technology, said today that the Shanghai-based cloud storage provider would increase its investment in backend infrastructure equipment and technology R&D staffing this year, including a more than RMB 200 mln investment in servers and server rooms. Kanbox hopes to help SMEs and application developers by opening its API, allowing developers to easily use Kanbox's cloud storage services in the early stages of developing their own products while driving more users to Kanbox's storage service.
